* Using SMTPS for sending e-mail
* Normally works, however if I cancel any SMTPS send-in-progress, then attempt to send any e-mail following this, Thunderbird reports the following error:

>>Could not establish an encrypted connection because certificate presented by [smtp-host-name] is invalid or corrupted. Error code: -8182.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up outgoing e-mail to use a SMTPS server.
2. Compose an e-mail.
3. Send the composed e-mail, BUT HIT cancel BEFORE it completes.
4. Try to send any other e-mail, and the error occurs.

Actual Results:  
Received error dialoge:

Could not establish an encrypted connection because certificate presented by [smtp-host-name] is invalid or corrupted. Error code: -8182.

Expected Results:  
The e-mail should have been sent without error.

Workaround: 

1. save composed e-mail as a draft.
2. restart Thunderbird.
3. retrieve e-mail from draft folder.
4. SMTPS send completes without error.

Reporter, does the issue still occur with the latest supported Thunderbird 2.0.0.x / Shredder trunk nightlies?

(1.5.0.x is now end-of-life and the latest supported Thunderbird 2.0.0.x is 2.0.0.17)
